Who Are We?

Christ Presbyterian Church is part of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and is one of twenty nine churches within Presbytery de Cristo which encompasses Southern Arizona and the western edge of New Mexico
.
Our congregation began in 1956, meeting in Alice Vail Junior High school.  More than 50 years later we have an amazing campus:

  • A Worship Center in the Round
  • Fellowship Hall
  • Classrooms for children of all ages
  • A huge gymnasium
  • A great grass quad with playground

It feels like  there is always something going on for people of the church and the Tucson community.

Our Mission Statement:

Christ Presbyterian Church
Serving God to create
A Caring, Passionate Community.

Welcome to our website.  We invite you to return often, to visit us on campus, and to join us in worship, and to consider becoming a member of our church family as we grow in our relationship with God through Jesus the Christ.

Worship is the center of our lives, and we begin each week with lively, interactive worship service with the music of our Band in our Fellowship Hall.  Later on Sunday morning we conduct a more traditional worship in our Sanctuary in the Round and you are invited to join us for either or both services.   You are also most welcome to participate between services in one of the Christian Education classes we offer for adults, youth, and children. 

I truly do believe that God is absolutely incredible, even in the moments when I wonder if God exists at all.  I plan worship that allows us to connect to God as we begin the week, praying we’ll carry that connection throughout the week wherever we go, whatever we face.

We live out our faith as we participate in educational opportunities, fellowship gatherings, and opening ourselves in mission by sharing as much as we can to create a better community in Tucson and throughout the world.   And we love potlucks, book studies, Amateur Broadway Show nights, Dominoes, and more.  We have a movie theater, a story tellers room with tent and stars on the ceiling, a giant gymnasium, and so much more.  Winter Residents and Davis-Monthan personnel and their families find a sense of home away from home.  We offer great events for children, youth, and adults and we hope you will come and visit us and will want to join in our effort to be faithful instruments of God in Christ.

Come and see… we’re worth a trip from anywhere!
